She looked into his eyes

A stare that was as deep as the darkest depths of the sea

In the dark of night, theirs was the only light

His eyes and hers

An eternity

He could see the entire universe

The milky moonlight made her sweet eyes look so distant

The shadowy room pulled her far away from the pillow where her head rested

A million stars deep in her pupils

Galaxies, universes away

He touched her face, was she really there?

So serene, so peaceful

His eyes flicked open

Her emerald green eyes so close, so real

A bright flash of color

Just as his hand fell to the pillow and the moonlight settled in around it.
